About this album
So Close, So Very Far To Go is a finely crafted folk-rock album that highlights Jake Holmes’ strengths as a songwriter: plainspoken lyricism, careful melody and an easy grasp of country-tinged arrangement. Released in 1970, it sits neatly between the intimacy of singer-songwriter folk and the open-road feel of country rock, with Holmes balancing personal detail and relaxed momentum throughout. Its understated quality is part of its appeal, giving the record a thoughtful, quietly confident tone that rewards close listening. For listeners drawn to early-70s American songwriting, it stands as one of Holmes’ most distinctive and enduring statements.
